Who needs the 2011 NFL Draft? Ruling coming on NFLPA's preliminary injunction to lift lockout

I'm hearing Nelson will issue the ruling on Monday. The players are the heavy favorites to win this round.

That doesn't mean the lockout ends right away and free agency starts. Nelson will either issue a stay on her ruling pending appeal to the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis or the loser will get a stay pending appeal directly from the Eighth Circuit. The winner of the appeal gains the leverage.

The Monday before the draft. How's that for drama? :(

IMO, she'll rule in favor of the players, grant the injunction and the owners will immediately appeal.

This is probably what will happen. The Owners will also ask the trial to be moved out of Minnesota once again.

How do they figure the initial winner has the upper hand? I fully expect the lower court judge who represented employees against 'the man' to rule in their favor. The conservative appellate courts will rule for the owners as the law and the situation is on their sides.

Est time line of an appeal will be 60 days at least. Depends on the circuit courts docket already, arguments, etc. You can also bet the NFL will ask for each and every delay possible because time and money are on their side.

Some here scoffed at me when I said I fully expect the season to be forfeit. the owners are dead set on changing how business is done.

The ONLY way I see this getting done sooner is if the majority of the NFLPA* membership says enough and fires their executive committee. The New committee wants to negotiate again with the judge they just did and accept an owner based deal. If so then this ends the lawsuits immediately and Brady, Manning, Brees etal can go suck it. Anyone wanting football anytime soon better hope the 'lesser' players take matters into their own hands and out of the hands of the highest paid.

How many times can they re-appeal the decision?

The losing side can appeal all the way up to the Supreme Court. It won't ever make it that far though. Look I would say 1600 of the 1800 players aren't the big paid players. They will step in and end it with a deal that will piss off the multi millionaire players, rookies and Agents. This won't go on too much longer.

One thing fans need to understand, there won't be free agency any time soon. The second she rules for the players the owners file an appeal and her decision is stayed, meaning the lockout and rules currently in place stay in place

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
